Kamala Harris Cements Her Place as the Worst Vice President in US History

The Worst Vice President in US History

Kamala Harris has cemented her place as the worst vice president in US history. Her wretched performance during a critical diplomatic trip to Poland and Romania demonstrated the utter ineptitude that has characterized her time in office. While the United States has had some questionable vice presidents in the past—including one who shot Founding Father Alexander Hamilton dead and another who couldn't even spell potato—Dan Quayle looks like a genius when compared to Kamala Harris.

The White House said her visit to Poland and Romania would demonstrate the strength and unity of the NATO alliance as Russia's invasion of Ukraine plunged the region into a deepening crisis. What it actually demonstrated was the comprehensive incapability of the vice president.

Cackling During a Refugee Crisis

During a serious press conference addressing the unfolding refugee crisis, Harris responded to a straightforward question with embarrassing, inexplicable laughter. When asked if the United States was willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees, and whether she had been asked to specifically accept more refugees, Harris erupted into inappropriate cackling.

The question was serious: "Is the United States willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees? And for President Duda, I wanted to know if you think and if you asked the United States to specifically accept more refugees."

Harris's response was to laugh hysterically during one of the darkest moments facing the region. It's little wonder that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's former press secretary said of Kamala after that chuckle-happy performance with the Polish president: "It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency."

Complete Lack of Foreign Policy Understanding

Beyond the mad chuckling, Kamala Harris's incompetence and complete lack of foreign policy acumen was on display every time she actually answered a question. Her responses were incoherent and demonstrated a fundamental inability to grasp the serious issues at hand.

When discussing the situation in Ukraine, Harris said: "We all watched the television coverage of just yesterday. That's on top of everything else that we know and don't know yet based on what we've just been able to see. And because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it hasn't happened. But just limit it to what we have seen, it's not funny, it's tragic."

It only got worse. In another attempt to explain the stakes of the NATO alliance, Harris stumbled through this incoherent statement: "I am here standing here on the Northern flank, on the Eastern flank, talking about what we have in terms of the Eastern flank and our NATO allies and what is at stake at this very moment. What is at stake this very moment are some of the guiding principles around the NATO Alliance."

Deflecting Questions on Historic Inflation

Given the train wreck performance on foreign policy, it's clear why Kamala tried to handball a question about historic inflation in America to the Romanian president. When asked how long Americans should brace for historic inflation and unprecedented gas prices—noting that President Biden had said Americans will feel some pain for the sake of defending freedom and liberty—Harris attempted to deflect the question entirely.

The reporter asked: "Madam Vice President, President Biden has said that Americans will feel some pain for the sake of defending freedom and liberty, but there does seem to be no endgame in sight. How long should Americans expect, how long should we be bracing for this really sort of historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?"

Harris's response was to try to pass the question to someone else, demonstrating her inability to address one of the most pressing domestic concerns facing Americans.

Complete Failure on the Border Crisis

Harris's performance in Poland and Romania is consistent with her complete failure to have any impact on the illegal immigration disaster the US is experiencing after being put in charge of the border crisis. Despite being tasked with this critical responsibility, she has shown no ability to address the ongoing chaos at the southern border.

The Dangers of Identity Politics

Kamala Harris is proof of what can happen when you disregard meritocracy and embrace identity politics. She is what happens when you choose people for key roles not according to their ability, experience, or acumen, but according to their gender or their skin color.

The real concern is that this comprehensively incapable woman is just a heartbeat away from the presidency. The fear is that she'll be installed as president during Biden's first term should the 79-year-old's health decline further. Good luck, America.
